TROUBLESHOOTING
Washer continues to fill or drain, or the cycle seems
stuck
Does the drain hose fit too tightly in the standpipe, or is it
taped to the standpipe?
The drain hose should be loose yet fit securely. Do not seal
the drain hose with tape. The hose needs an air gap. See
"Permanent Installation Instructions."

the floor (27" [68.9 cm] for portable washers)?
Refer to the installation instructions for your model for proper
installation of drain hose.

Is the load balanced and the washer level?
The wash load should be balanced. See "Starting Your
Washer" for maximum load size.
The washer must be level. Refer to the installation
instructions for your model.
Can you hear water spraying? This is part of the wash action.
If water is drained quickly from the washer, you may hear air
being pulled through the pump. This happens during the end
of draining. It is normal.
When the cycle changes from washing to draining or
spinning, you may hear a noise as the drive system shifts.
This is normal.

13 gal. (49.2 L) of water per minute for permanent
